Amber Chinese in Tendring

I've been using this Chinese for 20 years plus and never had a bad experience. Their food is great. Open kitchen, cooked in front of you, usually very swiftly although can get busier on Friday and Saturdays understandably. If I'm in the vicinity I wouldn't consider using any other Chinese period. Great food. Great taste. Highly recommended.

If I could have given a minus score I would have. 2 items were wrong and the rest was disgusting so we ended up throwing £42 worth of food away. Avoid like the plague

Never been there but it's always got the side window open; smells nice as I drive past.

The food was really nice & not greasy. Woul highly recomend

Really good Chinese meal. Every dish was very delicious the lemon chicken is excellent not smothered in gluey sauce just a very small amount of clear lemon sauce which we found perfect same goes for the crispy chilli beef . Staff are very friendly and meal was ready for collection when they said it would be. Definitely going to use them as our first choice.

Great local Chinese takeaway, does exactly what it says. Cash only payment (still) is a pain, especially in these strange times when lots of people now use card for everything.

I have only given 1 star as that was least I could give !I phoned about a job vacancy for taking orders for this Chinese to be told I was too old !They are obviously wanting younger people so they can pay less ! I'm a hard working enthusiastic person looking for a part time job .I have worked hard all my life to be told I am too old now ! Well I am not and I have the experience of life so I hope you find someone who you can rely on to turn up for work and who to work !

Mmmmmm! You know when a place is so tasty it doesn't even need to do delivery and is pretty isolated too! Wow though! Genuinely nothing about this place is horrible. Open kitchen, very clean, very friendly and the food is just soooooo good! The pancake rolls are stuffed with meat too, not just veg like they all seem to do now. The noodles were the right texture, not soggy or hard and the rice is as fluffy as it comes! The crispy duck wasn't very crispy but to be honest I like it like that so good for me lol. Chicken balls are juicy, the soups are packed rather than a bowl of water. I just loved every bit of it! The meat fell off the rib as I picked it up off my plate it was that tender. Genuinely by far the best Chinese I ever remember having. Nothing else around even comes close to it. My only disappointment is that they don't deliver, but hey no where is perfect lol

The Hot & Sour Soup is a Work of Art...The food here is quite frankly excellent. The Amber is an inconspicuous little Hole in the Wall take-away. It's squeaky clean, and the kitchen is open-plan, so you can watch the chefs working their magic. Service is friendly, and prices are more than fair for the quality you're getting.Pro-Tip: Unlike a lot of other Chinese takeaways in the area, this place cooks everything fresh, to order. It also gets crazy-busy, so you can expect to wait at peak times. Instead of whining about this waiting time, appreciate it for what it is... the time required to prepare quality food in large quantities.

Dreadful experience. They do not take cards, only cash. It's 2016 come on. I ordered 25 minutes ahead purposely after a long journey to arrive and find out my food isn't cooked. Then I get home to find out I definitely haven't got sweet and sour chicken which was the last straw.
